Halpin after it was taken from its mother at the Buffalo hospital by l)r. Janies E. King. “On one occasion,” says Mrs. Kendall, “Dr. King and his ■wife came in a hack and said they wanted to take the baby down to its father's office. I rigged the child up and took it down with Dr. Kiug. After we reached there a strange lady came in, and, running up, snatched the child out of my arms without saying a word to me. She acted as though she was crazy, and I was much alarmed. She said: ‘O, my baby, open your eyes and let mo see them/ Baby was asleep. ‘O, my precious baby, why don’t you open your eyes once more?’ She held it some time, talking that way. The lawyer said to her soveral times, ‘give up the child to Mrs. Kendall,'and made a rough expression to her. She cried all the time as though her heart would bread.” “Who was present at this time?” “Myself, Maria Halpin, the baby, lawyer, and Dr. King. It was iu the forenoon that we went there.” “Hare you ever seen a picture of drover Cleveland?” “I have, and I should say. by the picture, that he was the lawyer who was there. What they took me and the child there for 1 don't know, unless it was to assure Maria Halpin that her child was alive and well. When they had completed some business we went home. Just before that the lawyer said to Dr. King nonchalantly, with a sly wink, ‘lt is all right, Doctor; have a chair, Doc.’ He and the doctor were laughing most of the time. I said to the doctor, after we got out. ‘How much the child looks like its father.’ The doctor took the veil from the child's face, and said, ‘Yes, it does look like its father.’ “After this I nursed and cared for the baby for a long time. We were in Buffalo between one and two years, and had previously lived on a farm in Kansas from 1870 to 1874. When the child was first brought to us we lived in East Buffalo, near the Stock-yards, but were at this time living at Buffalo proper, on Union street. “They came to me in a hurry one day, ap parently alarmed, and told me to take the baby and get its things all together quick and go in a hack and give it up to its mother, but on no account to go into the house where its mother was, as it was a bad house. They cautioned me on this point over and over again, .and 1 was also not to tell them at the house where I lived. The hack-driver drove a circuitous route, and when we reached the house an elderly lady came out and told me to bring the baby in. I replied. ‘Dr. King told me not to go in.’ She then went back and Came out again, saving l must carry the child in and place it in its mother’s arms. 1 thought it all over and tame to the conclusion that it was best for me to carry it in. She was the same Maria Halpin I had seen in Lawyer Cleveland’s office, and when I asked her if she was the baby's mother, she answered: ‘Yes. I am Maria Halpin, baby's own mother.’ She held it in her arms and hugged and kissed it. and seemed to be overjoyed to have it restored to her. She was crying, and (hysterical, and much excited, which frightened the baby, and I nursed it to quiet the little fellow. She wanted to know where I lived, but acting under instructions I refused to tell her. She said Dr. King and that other man, the lawyer, were villains, and she called them very hard names, yet she did not. with all her bitterness, utter Cleveland’s name. She tried very hard to learn where I lived, and offered the h:\ckman $2 to go to my house and get baby's cradle, thinking that in some way she might find out my residence. but she did not find it out. At the door when we parted Maria gave me $2 for my trouble. She was quite a good-looking woman, tall and slender, and very lady like in appearance. When the hack-driver left me at home, after driving round and round so that I could not tell where we went, he said: ‘My God, whose child is that that they are so much fuss about?’ I did not reply. Some of baby’s things were left at my house which I did not notice in the hurry of picking up and getting away when ordered to. Among them was a little pair of cotton stockings which Maria Halpin knit and sent to me. She sent me a note with them, also. I had his little knit cap with the picture of a man inside which looked just like the picture of Cleveland. On the picture being torn out the back of it showed the following written words: ‘Baby’s papa.' Our house was afterwards broken into and all of baby’s trinkets stolen, and all of my things were turned topsyturvy. “As soon as we had let baby go, Dr. King was very anxious to have us leave Buffalo. He •wanted my husband to go to work on the rail road at Kingston, Ont, but wo finally came back to New England. He charged us over and over again never to tell what we knew about Maria Halpin s child, and used all manner of means to intimidate us and compel us to keep the matter quiet. Dr. King's wife told to me just before •tc left Buffalo: ‘Haria Halpin has got that ,-fluid now. but I will get him and then she will never see him again.’ Three years ago I was in Gilman ton, and I saw a picture of the little boy in a checked suit. I said at once, ‘That is my Jack.' This being disputed. I said, ‘I know it is. You can’t fool me. 1 declare it is tjhe boy I nursed —Maria Halpin’s child. Dr. Dolan, of Buffalo, knows 1 had the child and nursed it.'” Asa further test of her memory, the woman was shown a miniature picture of Hendricks and asked it that was the lawyer she saw iu Buffalo. She replied it was not. She was then shown a similar picture of Cleveland and she quickly said, “that is the man. He is the lawyer I saw in Buffalo when I took the child to his office.” She and her family are members and regular attendants of the Methodist-Episcopal Church and are well thought of by the members of that denomination. Her maiden name was Amanda Mills, though she has always been called “Minnie.” She was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia. Her husband was present during the interview and corroborated the statements in every particular. Inquiry among the townspeople de veloped the fact that the family bears a good reputation as honest, industrious people. Mr. Kendall is an employe of the Norway Plains Company, where Mrs. Kendall works in Wallace’s shoe factory such portion of the time as she can spare from her household duties. From threats that were made to them by friends of Cleveland before they left Buffalo they feared to talk about the case, and were induced to do so only in the interest of justice.

POLITICAL. NOTES. Contradiction of a Campaign Story Invented for Kansas Consumption. Washington, Oct. 2.—The following letter is self explanatory: Washington, Oct. 2. J. VV. Stewart, Auburn, Shawnee County, Knn. Pear Sir—Tour letter of the 29th ult., and in which you inquire whether Senator John A. Logan is interested in any distillery that pays revenue to the United States, and state that smdi charge is being circulated in Kansas for political affect, has been received. In reply, you are advised that the law requires a sworn statement to be made to this office before any distillery is put in operation, showing the name of each person interested in the same. A careful examination has been made of the records of this office, and not the slightest indication can be found that Senator Logan has any interest in any distiller}’. I have no doubt you can safely set the charge down as a campaign story, having no foundation in fact. Tory respectfully, Waltkk Ky ass. Commissioner. Out of a Job. Lincoln (Neb.) State Journal. A Thunder of Applause crept slowly and painfully into the county poor house. When as signed a place to rest its weary limbs it was surprised to find in its room mate the Fraudulent Cote. •‘How is this?" said the F. V.; “I never expected ito see you here.” “Oh, well,” feebly murmured theT. A, “when Cleveland was nominated I went off with the kickers, and joined the Democrats, and they have just starved me to death, and my efforts to do my duty have resulted'in paralysis. But how came you here?” “Oh.” sighed the Fraudulent Vote, “the party got too poor to pay me, and I left and tried to join the Republicans. They wouldn’t have me. and I had to come here to try and live along until Cleveland is elected, when 1 can easily get steady work and pay.” And the old Bourbon veteran folded the new recruit, in its arms and they dropped off to troubled and uneasy slumbers.

TWO FAMOUS ACTORS. John McCullough's Condition —Distressing Scenes at His Hotel in Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 2.—The statement is published here that John McCullough, tho tragedian, has not been informed that all his engagement have been canceled. After rehearsal on Tuesday afternoon he was shown a letter from Mr. McVicker, in which his illness and consequent inability to do himself justice were specified as reasons for closing the house. The actor was lying down at the time, but rose, dressed himself, and, in company with his manager, went to Mr. Me Vickers residence. Mr. McVicker succeeded, apparently, in convincing him that the action he had taken was best, and tho tragedian returned to his hotel and accepted the situation. He supposed, however, that performances would be resumed at Detroit, the next place on the route, and nothing was said to disabuse his mind of h\a error. Careful w itch was kept upon him all night and all day. BLrly yesterday he read what the newspapers had to say about him, and in the afternoon he went to the Tremont House and told Miss Tracy that he intended to go to Detroit at once. She persuaded him to wait until evening. Shortly before 7 o'clock he ordered his carriage sent to the depot and proceeded to the theatre himself. His friends withheld his baggage and two of Pinkerton’s men followed him. They found him walking up and down the platform with Miss Tracy, and in an apparently calm state of mind. By a little strategy Mr. Brooks, his manager, induced him to enter his carriage, and he was driven back to the hotel, where he arrived very excited and angry. Hp struggled desperately, and struck Brooks with his cane. Adother scene followed in inducing him to retire to his room. Miss Tracy followed him to the hotel, crying convulsively, but she succeeded in calming the actor and bringing him to realize that he was not in a condition to fill any engagement for some time to "cme. Just what McCullough now intends to do could not be learned. William Connor, McCullough’s manager, and Mr. Thompson, a friend of the actor, are both now in New York, and have been telegraphed to come and confer with the tragedian’s friends here, relative to taking some action in regard to his future. Mr. McCullough evinces a slight improvement to-day. He slept soundly for two or three hours, something he has not done for two or three days. Notwithstanding this favorable feature, he has been quite violent two or three times to-day. He is, in fact, practically a prisoner in his room, under surveillance of Pinkerton detectives, who use every available ruse to amuse him and distract him from his persistent determination to go to Detroit, which would liave been the next point in his tour, and physical force is oniy employed when absolutely necessary. He was allowed to ride out and dine with a friend to-day. Opiates have been administered from time*to time, and to-night ho is quiet, and his friends hope for good results from his night’s rest. Mr. Conner is expected to roach here from New York to-morrow, and it is anticipated he will be able to persuade McCullough to return with hiffi to New York, or to some place where ho can have a chance of recovery and give up his idea of going on with his season. The actor’s friends kept secret until to night what transpired in his room last night after he had' been forcibly taken to it. He became quiet after a time and sat down to a game of cards with one of the detectives. Tiring of this, he wanted to leave the room. Persuasion failing, the detective barred Uis way, when ho flew into a rage, seized a cane and felled the officer to the floor, knocking him senseless and cutting a gash several inches long in his head. Others then rushed iu and overpowered him.

THE CHINESE DEMAND WAR. The American Minister, Under Instructions, Proposes Mediation. On Ascertaining the Nature of the French Claims. Li Hung Chang Immediately and Peremptorily Declines the Offer. TOO LATE FOB MEDIATION. Li Hung Chang Declines to Accede to the Demands of France. London, Oct 2. —The Times’s dispatch from Tien-Tsin states that the American min ister, John Russell Young, has arrived there, and, acting under instructions from Washington, has informed Li Hung Chang that the French government had requested the mediation of America. Li Hung Chang asked the privilege of inspecting the telegram, and was n*uch surprised at its chotents, which merely reiterated the French demand of the ultimatum of August 19, with an additional statement that Admiral Courbet would continue his operations. Li Hung Chang replied scornfully, saying France had entered the Min river peacefully, but had destroyed the arsenal and a fleet constructed by Frenchmen. After avenging Lang Son twenty-fold, this demand of the French for indemnity is monstrous. The Tien-Tsin convention made every possible concession to France; and why should she seek more? He hinted that China is better prepared for war than formerly. Li Hung Chang said: “Let Admiral Coubet attack our northern defenses, and he will find the task harder than at Foo Chow. Two months ago China was willing to conciliate and satisfy France; now she is determined upon war; the government and the people alike are prepared for it.” Li Hung Chang asked Minister Young if the smallest State in Europe would submit to a like oppression, to which the latter replied, “No.” Li Hung Chang said: “Then why should the greatest Nation in Asia?” Replying to a question from Minister Young, Li llung Chang said the action of the French had nullified the convention, but France had fulfilled her obligations and China had done likewise. Minister Young applauded the Viceroy’s patriotism, and explained to him that ho was obliged to obey the orders from his government and present the French demand.

Over twenty persons are killed and many badly wounded. It is believed the mob was led by the celebrated ElCayote, “the woife,” who escaped from jail at New Laredo a few days since. Alcalde Santos caused the arrest of El Cayote for participation in the Bnstamente train robbery one year ago. Loss by the Burning of the Glen House. Mt. Washington, N.

VISITING THE POOR. Tragic Scenes To Be Witnessed iu Any Large City. Chicago News. Common human clay, with a mother’s heart beating within, and a mother's grief distorting her face. She had been carrying her sick child through the broiling sun to see the doctor, because she could not pay fora visit. The mis sion medical woman met her, and was stopped by the trouble in her face. The old shawl was pushed back, and, from the baby's, pinched, pallid features, it was plain to bo seen that a few more gasps would tell the story unless help came soon. “Oh, dear! ma'am, the doctor says she’s got to die, and I can’t give her up? I can’t give her. up!” “Come into the mission and rest yourself,"and get cooled off and I’ll see what I can do for her. ” A little close attention, a few doses of medicine, and some good food, and baby was playing on the floor of the shanty again, while the mother rubbed away at her washboard, thinking herself the happiest woman in Christendom. But what if the medical woman had been fixing her flounces, banging her hair or taxing her refined sensibilities over the love troubles of a cheap novel? That same good woman has her arithmetic tested now and then with problems liko this: How can a man who earns $1 a day pay sfl a month rent, clothe, food and caro for a sick wife and six little children? We hate to see a horse pull till he falls under the whip. What about a man tugging at such a load, year in and year out, with no one to lend a hand? But tho women—the curse always falls most heavily upon them. On the South Side the other day a woman was found on tho floor beside her sewing machine in a fainting lit She had been trying to finish a job of twenty-six cloaks, for the making of which she was to receive $20 —$1 a cloak. A poor neighbor helped bring her to and get her upon the bed, and then finished the cloaks for her. Did the sick woman get her S2O to pay her and buy food, for lack of which her strength had given away? Not one cent of it. Tho firm refused to pay her anything because the finishing was not done by herself. The Lord have mercy upon them! Said the visitor: “I never saw a human being so full of bitterness as was that poor sewing-wo-man.” At last she gave a great lurch of soul to get out of the trough of the sea aud save her little craft from going straight to the bottom. “Well,” she gasped, “God lives, and He is just —and He cares—even for me.”

A FUNNY LITTLE FLECTION. How tli© Northwestern Indians Are Classed Politically as Republicans and Democrats. Tacoma Ledger. Monday was election day at Puyallup reservation. The officers to be chosen were a head chief to succeed Tommy Lane, the present incumbent, and four sub-chiefs or members of the reservation council. Persons unacquainted with the customs and laws governing Indian affairs have but little comprehension of the extent and power of this counoil. It sits as a court, aud from its decisions there seems to be no appeal. It would be hard to define the limits of its legal powers. It can and does affix penalties which the law and courts of Washington Territory do not warrant. and they are scrupulously applied. For instance, a Frenchman was brought before the council for loafing about the agency and dishonorihg a squaw. He .was sentenced to receive fifty lashes and have his head shaved and decorated with tar and feathers. He was tied to a flagstaff and the fifty lashes vigorously applied, after which the head-shaving and tar and feathers came off. The Indians had previously held a caucus, made speeches, nominated candidates and male a canvass of the tribe. Singular to say, the issue was Republicans vs. Democrats, the tribes having divided into parties bearing these names. The Republicans had decorated the flagstaff with banners on which were inscribed: “Hurrah for Blaino and Logan;’' “Republican victory;” “Our country must be free forever.” At the top of the staff floated the stars and stripes, and patriotism was everywhere manifest. The Republicans gained the victory by the election of Louis Napoleon as head chief. GONKLING’S POSITION, He Is “Rededicated” to Himself and Will Not Vote for Blaitie. Croffut’s Letter. “Conkling for Blaine.” Some Republican papers have had this announcement, but it is untrue. A friend of Blaine’s had a long, free talk with Conkling one day within a week, and ho tells me the result of it. Conkling talked for an hour, striding up aud down his office, and delivering himself of a speech. Hods never more eloquent than when he breaks out into monologue, with only one auditor. Sentence follows sentence in a fusillade. He neither invites nor permits interruption. He grows wrathful and hot, gesticulates violently, stops before the single auditor and menacingly shakes his upraised finger. Ho wipes tho perspiration from his brow, invokes the aid of poet and sage, of Plato and Shakspeare, and Rabelais and Fielding, and Lucullus and Boccaccio, calls on tho gods and tho muses, ransacks history for metaphor, and apothegm, and invectives, and pours out a stream of livid lava, red hot. “I’d have given SI,OOO for a phonographer,” said the listener. “Conkling said he wouldn’t vote for anybody. ‘Politics had now readied its lowess degradation,’ he said. ‘Think how utterly debased it is when political rancor can deface the tombstone of a child in order to throw disgrace upon its mother! The Republican party touehed its loftiest point when Lincoln was elected, aud has sinbe been descending with

terrible rapidity. It would be mockery for me to vote after what has happened. I asked my informant what it was that had happened, but he didn't seem to remember. He asked Conkling how lie came to go into the law. “I lay dangerously ill at Utica,” said Conkling, “my breath coming painfully; the shadow of the King of Terrors darkening my bed.and then I reflected how little I had accumulated for those depending on me. 1 had given the twenty best years of ray life to my country instead of to my family; aud there I rededicated myself, and promised that, if God would let me live, I would devote my remaining years to those having a right to ray protection. £o I am giving my whole time to the law.” Recruits for St. John. New York Commercial Advertiser. A Staten Island saloon-keeper has a peacock that drinks only ginger-ale, and the best imported 23-cent ginger-ale at that. With the Williamsburg police station cat. that matutinally works tho wash-bowl faucet to get a drink, and Staten Island's ginger-ale peacock, it is evident that the ranks of Mr. St. John’s party are rapidly filling up. Spontaneity to Order. Syracuse Journal. “I am going to start for Buffalo next Thursday.” says Cleveland, “and I would like to have ray reception there as spontaueous as possible." Whereupon the Buffalo Democrats have gone to work systematically to manufacture spontaneity. But He Was Cliisseloil Out of It. Philadelphia Press. Democratic papers out in Indiana say that McDonald “received an ovation ’ when he spoke the other night at Logansport. It wasn’t an ovation that the old man wanted, however —it was a nomination. A Lockwood Banner. Philadelphia Press. A Belva Lockwood banner has been stretched across the principal street in Albion, N. Y. It is hemstitched, has a dado of Hamburg edging aud two rows of shin ing on the upper gore. The plants called “potted” are the runners of old strawberry plants rooted in small pots that have been sunk in the ground, in convenient places, for the purpose. The small pots are soon filled with roots, and tho plants and balls of earth are turned out without disturbance, and, when transplanted, grow right on, and make almost a full crop of fruit next year. Layers, or the runners, rooted in the open soil, are much checked bv the moving, and do not recover until the second year. Tines really make a wall dry. The millions of rootlets by which they adhere to the wall absorb water, and an examination will prove a vine-covered waii to boas “dry as an old bone.” One great advantage of a vine-covered cottage, not often thought of. is that it is cooler in summer and warmer in winter than when there is but a mere naked wall. Arrested for False Pretenses. Last night John 0. Parr was arrested by Officers Meek and Lowe, on a warrant sworn out by Schweikle & Prange, the carriage manufactur ers, charging him with obtaining goods under false pretenses. They claim that they traded him three buggies and a carriage, the whole valued at $325, for a promissory note, which he claimed was good and secured by mortgage on real estate, and which they allege is worthless.
